Overhead console, MPG issue

Im having some problems with my MPG part of my overhead computer. Its been showing really high numbers that I know are incorrect. I reset it every fuel up and it still gos to 32-35 MPG. I figure it manually and its on par with 18-20 MPG. any one have any help with this issue, please let me know!!

Thanks

Have you put a tuner/chip of any kind in the truck? These will throw the numbers into the astronomically high area.

With Superchip mine shows 24-26 any given time. Damm, I get nothing more that 16MPG...so , don't worry that is normal for chipped Engines. I guess there is no solution as far as I know...

Hmm, it says I'm getting 9.8 mpg towing nor hauling anything. I know that has to be off.. I have the DP tuner set at 80hp eco.
